Went to the range. The patterns were all over the target. Both the scope base and rings were loose. After tightening had only 3 cartridges of each of the following: 59 g and 60 grains of H4831SC in Win brass, Fed. LR primers, and 130 g Nosler B tips. They yielded 0.7 and 0.8 inch groups respectively, in Model 700 with 22 inch sporter barrel. I will load up a few more to confirm which is the best load. Then I will try to mess with bullet depth. Currently they are almost seated to the lands with 3.406 total length. The factory Remington 130 g core-lokt are shooting MOA groups.
